Build a small web game from a plain prompt

A tester used Manus to make two browser games from short instructions, including a CEO role-play and a match-three puzzle.

What they did
A Chinese tech influencer tried the agent on two game-building jobs. One request was for a role-play game where the player acted as Google’s CEO, and the other was a match-three puzzle using tech logos. Manus worked inside a virtual machine, planned the steps, wrote and ran the code, and checked websites when needed.
How it went
The CEO game was ready in about an hour. The puzzle game first ran into download limits on outside sites, but after the requirements were adjusted, Manus completed it without more help. It still had trouble with harder jobs, and server outages occasionally stopped progress.
Tips
Give the agent very clear rules and keep the game scope small, since it can struggle when instructions are vague. Before anything is launched or shared, ask it to pause and show the final build for approval.

Try it yourself with Manus

Build a playable web game in a single HTML file for [game idea]. Use [theme or characters] for the visuals, and include a title screen, simple controls, scoring, and clear win or lose states. If you need assets or external content, use only sources that can be accessed without restrictions. Stop after you have a working version and ask me to approve it before you publish, share, or submit anything. Also explain how I can swap in a different theme later.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
